Xandy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Does any one know where I can find the productid in the windows7 registry?In windows XP, I read the productid from this path from the reg: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion.I would like to use this number as part of my license key system for software I am trying to release by the end of this year.It will be a powerful general purpose software tool, I will be giving out (upon request) free keys to members of this forum who were here before the release date. My reasoning is, if this forum and it's members weren't available then I would not have had the resources I was able to rely on. I also plan to give back to the forum, but I can only give what I have.Anyway I have the key system working in XP, when my software is paid for information is pinged to my website, encrypted and returned. It needs a little ironing, but is almost solid. But at this point I don't have it working with windows7 and I do not have a copy myself to test with. Some of my friends have it, I can't really develop that way.What I am requesting.$z= regread("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion", "productid");aquire windows productidThe equivalent of the above string on windows7.Thank you, for your support.edit: currently I am awaiting a email from a windows_7 user to confirm that he has a productid in his registry at location: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion. Thank you BrewManNH for the tip, I will be happy to hear if any windows_7 user can validate a productid at the location.

FaridAgl Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I can't help so much about what you want but take a look at this thread, it's just an idea: http://faridaghili.ir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandy Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 It looks to me like you check the information on your site to validate the user. I do not wish to do this, my tool will need the internet to generate a license code, but only once. After the unique code is returned from my site you will not need the internet to use my software. I was striving to make my users as happy with their purchase as possible. Let me know if I am wrong, I am tired and sore at the moment. I am having trouble with focusing. Thank you for your reply however.

BrewManNH Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Take a look at "HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftInternetExplorerRegistration" "ProductID", that location holds the ProductID as shown in the My Computer Properties screen. It also has the digital productID settings, but I don't know what they are. You can also look in HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersion for the product ID as it's stored there as well.

Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Thank you for your reply however. OK. i understand. BTW use Obfuscator for more security ( Maybe you already know this, just want to help ).

storme Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Just one thing to be carefull of with Windows Key. Brand names (Dell, HP, etc) use a generic key so if you are using it as a unique ID you may run into 2 computers with the same ID. Good Luck!

storme Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi Songersoft if you work out a solution let me know...........PM if you want to keep it quiet. I was going to use the Windows Key as "Unique ID" in a database of each computer I work on. So if you find a solution it may work for me as well. Have a great day!
